It's been a really relaxing and beautiful month since the last entry in this blog. The bright, sunny days are growing steadily more bracing, but that's okay because we have the firewood ready. Tommy still goes to Tidewater "gym" two mornings a week, where he rides the bike for a good half-hour and Bob Cairo walks with him using the walker. We will soon get back to walking on the back porch--as we were doing before the great gall-stone disaster set Tommy back for the summer. So, we are slowly but surely working our way back to where Tommy was in the late spring. Two steps forward, one step back does seem to be the way of it. Tommy turned 74 on Sunday; we had a dinner party for him with everyone bringing a dish to supplement the leg of lamb that I roasted for him. He heard from many family and friends, both with phone calls and cards, and had a wonderful day.
